    The good news is it is fully supported. I have used latest Sony utilities and drivers for this instal. After running installation from Win 7 PRO 64 bit DVD there where only 3 unknown devices:
    Biometric coprocessor
    Mass storage controller
    Unknown device

    Google for Protector Suite QL v.5.8, download and install it. This will take care about UPEC Touch chip fingerprint coprocessor and also will install driver for formerly unknown device: Sony Firmware Extension Parser Driver 8.0.1.2
    To install mass storage controller Google and download TI Media Card Reader Driver
    Version: 2.0.0.9 Part Number: D20009-000-001
    Microsoft driver for Blue tooth is OK. Also you can replace it with Blue tooth stock for Windows by Toshiba v. 9.10.00

    That's it. Now comes time to install Sony controls and utilities. After downloading files please unpack them with Universal Extractor 1.6 (free) and leave only installation files to avoid system check by Sony soft. Run files as administrator and install them exactly in the order specified below:
    1. Sony Firmware Extension Parser device driver (SODOTH) (already installed!)
    2. Sony Shared Library v.5.10.05310 (SOSSL) (restart after install)
    3. Setting Utility Series v.5.0.0.07280 (SOASUS) (restart)
    4. VAIO Event Service v.5.3.0.05310 (SOAVES) (restart)
    5. Sony Control Center v.4.0.0.0.7280 (restart)
    All controls shall work now (mute, S1, S2, volume, Brightness and LCD to external source switch)
    6. VAIO Power Management v.5.2.0.06210 (optional)
    7. Wireless utility switch v. 3.600.18210 (here will be one small glitch: will not see blue tooth)

    Good luck. Unfortunately no one enable (yet) VT and AHCI support in BIOS (R0200X9) for this model.
